Don't improve the targeting of your focus.
Very much this. Adderall can be very useful or very distracting. It's only one piece of the puzzle though. Memory, focus, and target (or goal) are three very different things and depending on the situation one may be far more important than another.
Personally I think testing focuses FAR too much on outright memorization and far too little on conceptual knowledge/critical thinking. If I forget an obscure formula or definition...I look it up in 5 seconds. Being able to understand what you're doing with the formula is another level entirely.
